Integrating Active Directory with NetVault Backup
Description

Integrating Active Directory with NetVault Backup
Cause

NetVault Backup installed on a Windows or Linux machine can communicate with Microsoft Active Directory (AD).
Additionally, NetVault Backup installed on a Linux machine can communicate with OpenLDAP Directory Services
and Samba Active Directory. Integrating AD with NetVault Backup enables role-based access control in NetVault
Backup. It lets users log in to NetVault Backup using their AD credentials. It also lets AD users manage NetVault
Backup users.
Adding an AD group to NetVault Backup and specifying privileges, levels of access, and notifications for the group
ensures that members of the group have the corresponding access from the first time that they log on.
Resolution

IMPORTANT: During Active Directory integration with NetVault Backup, the Active Directory service must
always be available. Additionally, the NetVault Backup Server should be a member of the domain.
Adding an AD group to NetVault Backup and specifying privileges, levels of access, and notifications for the group
ensures that members of the group have the corresponding access from the first time that they log on.
